Amazing, and not in a good way. There are only two required email
headers, and Etrade manages to screw this up? Quoting RFC 5322
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322#section-3.6 :

  The only required header fields are the origination date field and the
  originator address field(s). All other header fields are syntactically
  optional.

This is something the message sender has to fix.
